Throughout New York and New Jersey during 1778, 8,000 British soldiers were rummaging through the countryside looking for fresh provisions. This forgotten search for provisions is the subject of Todd W. Braisted’s work, The Grand Forage 1778: The Revolutionary War’s Forgotten Campaign. Entire Continental regiments were lost in this forage, and their remains were only discovered by accident almost 200 years later. Braisted will be coming to the DAR Library on May 14, 2016 to discuss this campaign and how it has been lost and rediscovered over time. To register please go to http://daron14.eventbrite.com
